Mercury on Cygwin
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
This file documents the port of Mercury to Windows using
|
|
[Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com) (i.e the `x86_64-pc-cygwin` configuration).
|
|
|
|
The x86 (32-bit) version of Cygwin has reached its end-of-life and
|
|
is no longer supported by Mercury.
|
|
|
|
Installations of Mercury on Cygwin will use the Cygwin port of the GNU C
|
|
compiler (GCC) by default. When using the Cygwin port of GCC, programs will
|
|
have a dependency on the Cygwin DLL (`cygwin1.dll`).
|
|
|
|
You may also use the Cygwin environment to build a Mercury installation that
|
|
uses an alternative C compiler, such as Microsoft Visual C.
|
|
(See [README.MS-VisualC.md](README.MS-VisualC.md) and
|
|
[README.MS-Windows.md](README.MS-Windows.md) for further details.)
